Purchased: May 2006
Usage: 55,000 kilometers, Touring.
Owner: Steve
Email to Steve
Location: Australia (Eastern) -- Sydney
Experience: 30 years - touring and off road
Bikes Owned: 6
Accessories: Registered for 12 months and came with a Haynes workshop manual, Ventura rack and an all-weather bike cover.
Modifications: Fitted with 'Formula One' brand 4 into 2's and an after market screen but everything else seems gloriously straight.
Problems: She idled a bit high during the trip home so gave her a full service and found out it was due to a faulty CDI. A quick negotiation with the local bike wrecker and $250 rectified that issue. Took her for a 200km jaunt and she just hummed along.
Comments:
Although 55000 kms seems a bit low for a 19 year old bike, I fell in love as soon as I saw her and since then I just know I've picked up a cracker and it's the beginning of a long and beautiful relationship !! It's now August 2010, 15000 kms have been added to the clock and she hasn't missed a beat. The love affair continues !!
For Sale: I love this bike so don't hold your breath ...

This bike is completely original and was parked in a garage for the past 20 years. We are in the process of of cleaning/sealing the gas tank, rebuilding the carbs, replacing the tires & battery. Even though it's been parked for a while, with fresh fuel it cranked up and ran

Location: USA (SouthWest) -- Phoenix AZ
Experience: Around 22 years (legally) Add 4-5 more un-licensed and off road. Raced the Whiplash series for a couple of years Other than that all my racing experience is
Bikes Owned: 13
Accessories: Not much needed to accessorize an already capable sport tourer! A magnetic tank bag, a pair of soft saddlebags Joe Rocket 3.0 pants and a TourMaster jacket. Just add fuel and your all ready to rack up the miles on "The Ultimate Sport Touring Machine" The only thing better than my 84 FJ is my 91 FJ !!! Amazing what a little rubber mounting can do for ya!
Modifications: Vance & Hines Exhaust. Stage II jet kit.
Problems: Not enough riding time to split between my 84 and 91 FJ's
Comments:
Simply the finest bike made. A very capable everyday bike, Ride with the Goldwings yet twist the throttle, exert a little more effort and stay ahead of those average riders on full on Sport bikes in the twisties. I love seeing their faces when they arrive at the next stop and see me sitting atop a 17 year old "Sport Tourer" talking to my passenger.
For Sale: Never !!!!!!

Experience: 30 years
Bikes Owned: 5

Modifications: 4 in 1 exhaust
Problems: Nothing to speak of really its a great bike. The clutch fluid needs bleeding from time to time. Other than that I had the front fork seals replaced. Not bad for a 21 year old bike.
Comments:
The last bike I had for my daily commute in and out of London (UK) was the FJ's baby sister the XJ600 (a '92' I think). The XJ was the last thing I sold before moving to Minnesota. When the ice thawed I starated looking for a bike again and found what is now my FJ1200 advertised in the twin cities. I had have a look. Within the first hundred yards of my test ride I had to have it. The FJ1200 is just a great bike.

The best bike I have ever owned - have been looking for suitable replacement for years without success! It is most unlikely that I shall part with it now. I find it very comfortable, I covered over 1000 miles one day. I also have another bike (Suzuki Bandit 1250) that I use more these days, but I still use the FJ.

Comments:
this is the forth FJ. I just love them. When the choice for my ride outreached my pocket (VINCENT BLACK SHADOW) I discovered a much similar adrenaline punch when I first rode an FJ 1100 in 1984. Beeeen there ever since and never a spot of bother. 100% perfect. Just keep up on the maitenance of you D I Ys, Don't forget the swing arn and shock linkage. One easy wat to put the maintenance program together. Is to think in the 3's just like money " We work for it; We get it; We Spent it. There are three divisions on the motorbike, front middle and back. Think about it and depending on your milage and pocket, spread your work out. You'll - Love your Bike more; Love to ride it more; and love to live longer - thats another 3. But if you do it yourself it's got to be right.
